2006 Quinta do Vesuvio

Tasting Note:

The Quinta do Vesuvio 2006 appears to have improved considerably since I last tasted it in 2008 principally because it has developed greater length and cohesion. It has a very intense bouquet with macerated black cherries dates iodine and a touch of violets: precise crisp and already demonstrating youthful intensity. The palate is full-bodied and luscious opulent and powerful with a velvety texture. There are layers of succulent dark black fruits with black plum fig blueberry and just a touch of alcohol on the finish. This is a spirited ebullient Vesuvio that will repay cellaring and should continue to improve in bottle. Drink 2020-2040. Tasted October 2011. Source: eRobertParker.com
